The DAS Audio Artec 312.96-W is a powerful and versatile 1200W 12-inch passive 2-way installation loudspeaker that combines professional-grade audio performance with an elegant design. This compact full-range loudspeaker system features a 12" low-frequency transducer alongside an M-34 compression driver, which is equipped with a titanium diaphragm to ensure crisp and clear sound reproduction across a wide frequency range from 60 Hz to 18 kHz. The striking white finish, achieved through a durable ISO-flex paint, enhances the aesthetics of the loudspeaker, making it suitable for installation in various environments such as conference centers, theaters, and retail spaces.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Artec 312.96-W features a rotatable waveguide that provides a coverage pattern of 90° x 60°, allowing for easy installation in either a vertical or horizontal orientation while maintaining optimal dispersion characteristics. This adaptability ensures that sound is effectively distributed throughout the listening area, enhancing the overall audio experience for audiences of different sizes. The trapezoidal enclosure, constructed from high-quality Baltic Birch plywood, minimizes standing wave coloration, leading to improved sound clarity and fidelity. This design also facilitates close-packed horizontal or vertical array configurations, making the loudspeaker suitable for a variety of installation scenarios.

For secure and convenient installation, the cabinet is fitted with M10 threaded suspension points, ensuring reliable mounting options in diverse environments. The optional AXU-AR312-W U-bracket further simplifies the installation process, allowing users to achieve precise positioning with ease.

Performance specifications for the Artec 312.96-W are outstanding, featuring an on-axis sensitivity of 90 dB SPL at 1W/1 m and a maximum peak sound pressure level of 127 dB at 1 m, providing powerful audio output that can effectively fill larger spaces. The nominal impedance of 8 ohms and RMS power handling capability of 300 W enable the loudspeaker to handle peak power inputs of up to 1200 W, ensuring compatibility with a range of amplifiers, including several models from the INTEGRAL series. Audio connections are made through covered barrier strip terminals for both input and output, ensuring secure and reliable connectivity.
